I read this book as a teenager. It made me so sad.
My father was in Vietnam, as was the fathers of so many people.
This book impacted me greatly. I feel, even to this day, that our goverment really has no respect for our military. They certainly didn't then and I am not sure that they do at this time either.

It makes me angry to think how these men were...more

$2 at Vinnies. Different cover picture. Could be a bit dated now, but good background info.
The sad, true, and totally untold story.
